Golden Books has released a series of coloring and activity
books featuring several of DC's heroes under the banner DC
Comics Super Heroes. Featured heroes include Superman,
Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, Captain
Marvel, Aquaman, The Flash, Green
Lantern, Supergirl, The Atom, Hawkman,
and Plastic Man. Villains include: The Riddler,
Catwoman, Mongul (interestingly enough), Dr.
Sivana, The Joker, and Black
Adam.
At least four of these
coloring and activity books have been released and are a must
have for any serious Captain Marvel collector. Captain
Marvel is featured in all of them and Dr. Sivana
and Black Adam show up too! The books range in
price from $1.49 US to $1.95 US. If you like the animated style
of the Batman and Robin animated series or the Superman animated
or even DC Comics' Batman and Robin Adventures, Superman
Adventures or Adventures in the DC Universe
comic books, you're certain to like these.
The December 1996 edition of Diamond's
Previews solicited at least two other Golden
Book releases due for release during the month of March,
1997 titled DC Comics Super-Heroes: Attack of the Robot
Book & Tattoos
(ISBN: 0-307-13071-1) and DC
Comics Super-Heroes: Sticker Fun (ISBN: 0-307-08508-2).
I hope both Golden Books keeps publishing new editions in this
series featuring the DC Heroes, for as much as I like Batman,
Robin, and Superman, DC has many other characters it can license.
I'd really like to see comic retailers stock these kinds of
items. It's my humble opinion that these items will draw in
visitors and not chase them away like some other merchandise can.
